BENICIA — Carol Mayer said she has two night managers at her store: A young boy, Mark, and an older man, George.

Mayer, however, has never seen them herself. They are spirits.

“I sense them, I don’t see forms,” she said.

Mayer owns Angel Heart 4 You, a gift shop on Benicia’s First Street, which is also the filming location of an episode of a new TV show, “Haunted Encounters.”

The show follows a team of investigators from NorCal Paranormal Investigators while they look into places with reported unexplainable activities.

Mayer’s store will be one of the episodes in the show’s first season this winter on KOFY, channel 20.
